the full steam ahead, can't catch your breath kinda crazy.

hiiii, friends! long time no talk?! i can't believe it's been so long since i've blogged and i've not been consistently blogging since like before christmas?! ahh, life has been such a wild and crazy ride lately! later last year and earlier this year, it felt as though my life was on hold and i was on the edge waiting for something to happen. and spring has come with new life and adventure in almost every moment.

here is just a small peak into the past two months and all the adventures and love and laughter and new experiences and friendships it's held. (seriously though, look at all those pretty faces I got to meet!) hopefully i'll be blogging all about these in the very near future. i have so many stories and photographs to share!

also: you guys!! i finally got to meet sweet grace for the first time after knowing each other through blogging for the past four years. we spent three and a half hours together talking nonstop and she is even more lovely in person than she is online. such joy!

I'M A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE! | #classof2015

[spring 2015 - due to a technical difficulty, this post was reposted and reappeared in your feeds. whoops.] 

HELLO WORLD, I'M A GRADUATE NOW.

Graduation happened in a whirlwind. I actually didn't even have time to make a list to pack by and I basically ended up tossing my clothes in a bag, grabbing my camera, chargers, and laptop and leaving for Florida. But finally, after 12 years of textbooks and crying over math (let's be real okay?) and essay writing and exams and 5 years of online classes with teachers I hadn't met, but have made me in ways I don't fully know yet... it's over. accomplished. finished.

Florida was marvelous and I got some stellar froyo, white beaches, and sandy toes along with a diploma, so you know, the deal wasn't really terrible. ;) In total, we drove through eleven states (and maybe it's just me, but I'm 99% sure that nobody in Alabama and Mississippi actually use turning signals). And we tried new foods, like crayfish in mass amounts, and discovered the glory of booking hotels through the internet, "wait, what is that smell?". I also got to meet sweet Grace after almost five years of being blogging friends and we spent a few hours talking nonstop- she's such a dear heart!

This post is missing so much and these are just a few photos, but I'm publishing it anyways because wow. it's real and it all happened. wow wow wow. 

also two thoughts: I'm a free bird. whatta time to be aliveeeee.
